When Bill Foley founded Lincourt Vineyards in 1996, the Sta. Rita Hills appellation was still largely undiscovered, but today is one of the most coveted, cool-climate AVA’s in California.
Lincourt, named for Bill and Carol Foley’s daughters, Lindsay and Courtney, specializes in small bottlings of handcrafted, acclaimed wines that showcase the character of each vineyard site and are named to honor influential people who have shaped Bill’s life, including his wife, mother, grandmother and aunt.
The Steel Chardonnay is full bodied, followed by a crisp finish and layered with citrus and floral notes. Aromatics of faint white flower muddled with sweet notes of honey comb. On the palate, zesty citrus tones of Mandarin orange and Meyer lemon are highlighted by moderate acidity and a zippy refreshing finish.
